I'm using the free version of Splunk 4.2 for Windows. JMX app is installed and configured.
C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\SPLUNK4JMX\bin>poll_jmx.bat config.xml
produces output that indicates that it connected to a JVM via the remote JMX interface.
(jconsole also works fine from this windows machine to connect to the remote JMX interface)
But I see no output in SpunkWeb i.e. searching
index=jmx
returns nothing.
What does "ensure you have enabled the poll_jmx.sh / poll_jmx.bat script input" mean?
Do I need to do something to make the app call poll_jmx.bat periodically?

Hello NK 1,
What does "ensure you have enabled the
poll_jmx.sh / poll_jmx.bat script
input" mean?
In SPLUNK Web, go to Manager->Data Inputs->Scripts ,and ensure that the "status" for the script is "enabled".
By default when you install SPLUNK4JMX, the "poll_jmx" script is disabled .
The reason being so that you can first configure your XML config file with your environment settings before SPLUNK starts to poll your JMX servers.
Furthermore, read over the PDF docs..there is heaps of good gravy in there 🙂

Cool. In the next version I'll probably add a "setup" step to the App, to only add the script(bat or sh) for the platform(win or nix) you are installing on.

Thanks Damien!
The .sh script was Enabled there, and the .bat script was Disabled.
I reversed that, and it works now.
